The Glories of Kartika: A Month Dedicated to Lord Damodar

What IsDamodar Month

–

Damodar Month is observed during the sacred Kartika period in the Vaishnava calendar. It is especially associated with the worship of Lord Krishna as Damodar.

The name Damodar comes from two Sanskrit words:

Dama
Rope
Udara
Belly or abdomen

Thus, Damodar refers to Lord Krishna, whose belly was bound with a rope by His loving mother, Yashoda.

This pastime reveals a profound spiritual truth: although Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He willingly becomes controlled by the pure love of His devotees.
